[[File:CellCycleDiagram.png|right|300px|A graphic showing the stages of the '''cell cycle''' and the relative time taken for each stage]].
The [[Cell Cycle]] is the process of [[growth]] and [[Cell Division|division]] that leads to to the formation of new [[Cell (Biology)|cells]].
===About the Cell Cycle===
The [[Cell Cycle]] consists of 3 stages:
*Stage 1 - The [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] grows, the [[DNA]] is made into two copies and more [[organelle]]s are made.*Stage 2 - [[Mitosis]] in which the [[Cell Nucleus|nucleus]] divides inside the [[Cell (Biology)|cell]].*Stage 3 - The [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] splits into two identical daughter [[Cell Biology|cells]]. ==Key Stage 4 Higher=====Meaning===[[File:CellCycleDiagram2.png|right|300px|A graphic showing the stages of the '''cell cycle''' and the relative time taken for each stage]].The [[Cell Cycle]] is the process of [[growth]] and [[Cell Division|division]] that leads to to the formation of new [[Cell (Biology)|cells]]. ===About the Cell Cycle===The [[Cell Cycle]] consists of 3 stages:*[[Interphase]]- The first stage in which the [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] grows, the [[DNA]] is made into two copies and more [[organelle]]s are made.*[[Mitosis]]- The second stage in which the [[Cell Nucleus|nucleus]] divides inside the [[Cell (Biology)|cell]].*[[Cytokinesis]]- The final stage in which the [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] splits into two identical daughter [[Cell Biology|cells]].
